This species is undoubtedly very closely allied to C. myxa Linn., and in spite 

 of a total lack of material for comparison, would here have been reduced to it, 



bad it not been for Clarke's positive statement T -'leaves never 



acuminate." Throughout the long series of plants above quoted, there are only 

 three or four mature haves in all which are not acuminate, the acumen is 

 occasionally acute, but much more often obtuse, its width nearly constant. Even 

 the great majority of very young leaves distinctly show an acumen. Bent ham, 

 who includes the Philippine plants, not thou described as separate, with G. myxa, 

 says, /. o., that the leaves are "very obtuse or shortly acuminate."' but I do not 

 know how far Philippine material may have been responsible for the exception, 

 (iiirke 8 figures them as shortly and sharply acuminate. The size of the (lowers 

 of C. blancoi more often exceeds the limits stated by Clarke for C. my ma, the 

 calyx before anthesis often having a length of 5.5 or even 6 nun. 



A specimen with the under surface of the (young) leaves and the inflorescence 

 much more pubescent than any of the collections above cited, but otherwise 

 agreeing with the species, is For. Bur. 455 Ahem'* collector, Antipolo, Prov,
